AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The invention is a medical device that can be used to treat various medical conditions, such as high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, thyroid disease, and inflammation, without causing any side effects like acne. The device is a low-cost tubular element that can be inserted into the patient's anus, vagina, or wounds for temporary relief of symptoms. This non-chemical method of treatment helps in reducing the itching, burning sensations, and other symptoms associated with hemorrhoids and inflammation.

Problems solved by technology

However, while the relief provided by this medicament is only temporary, it can be contra-indicated if the patient has high blood pressure and / or heart disease, thyroid disease, diabetes, and can lead to side effects, such as skin problems, including acne.
Hemorrhoids have also been treated surgically, but of course, that is a much more involved and expensive method of treatment, which many patients are reluctant to undergo.

Embodiment Construction

[0021]FIG. 1 illustrates various forms of hemorrhoids in the human patient. As can be seen from FIG. 2, the medical device 2, in its simplest form can take the shape of a cylindrical tube, have a generally cylindrical outer surface 4, with an aperture therein. The aperture could be a throughbore 6, but it is to be understood that the aperture may be drilled or bored through a mass of material, after forming the device, or formed from a combination of boring and broaching, such that non-circular apertures could be formed, or it could be created in other variations, such as elliptical during forming of the material by extrusion, molding and other shaping techniques. Thus, while the term “throughbore” is used to describe the aperture, it should be expressly understood that as used throughout the specification and claims, both circular, flat-sided, and non-circular cross-sections of the aperture are encompassed by the term “throughbore”. The throughbore 6 is most conveniently placed alo...

Abstract

This invention is directed to a medical device and a method of treating mammals, especially humans, to alleviate the symptoms, including pain, of several conditions and symptoms, including hemorrhoids, tissue inflammation and / or yeast infections, and open, draining wounds or incisions.

Description

1. FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]This invention is directed to a medical device and a method of treating mammals, especially humans, to alleviate the symptoms, including pain, of several conditions and symptoms, including hemorrhoids, vaginal inflammation and / or yeast infections, and open, draining wounds or incisions.2. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Prior to the invention disclosed herein, conditions such as hemorrhoids have been treated with topical applications, or suppositories. One of the leading medicaments is phenylephrine (rectal). However, while the relief provided by this medicament is only temporary, it can be contra-indicated if the patient has high blood pressure and / or heart disease, thyroid disease, diabetes, and can lead to side effects, such as skin problems, including acne. Hemorrhoids have also been treated surgically, but of course, that is a much more involved and expensive method of treatment, which many patients are reluctant to undergo. Hemorrhoids may exist...
